Maidenfans, I need your help.
My family has finally booked our flights for a month-long European vacation this summer.
None of us have ever been and would appreciate any advice you guys might have on just about anything.
We arrive in Paris in mid-July.
The loose plan is to spend a few days in Paris, then board the train south and/or east, eventually ending up in northern Italy. While there, we want to take in Venice and Florence and Rome.
Then it's off to Greece for a week, a flight to Amsterdam, a day or two there and then a flight back home to Canada.
The thing that's up in the air most right now is what route to take and where to stop during that early part of the trip between Paris and Italy (southern France, southern Germany, Switzerland?) So suggestions on that front would be welcome.
But any tips on any must-see stops anywhere on our itinerary, accommodations, food, transportation or anything else useful to know for Canadians travelling in Europe would great too.
